I missed the last one. I'm in on this one for sure.

[Cummins-Racer]

I should be there. By then I should have my nittos back on.

[doopie]

If they ar not NT-01 or the newer ones the sidewalls are to soft. I ran some NT555 when I forgot my lug and they rolled almost completely over at 40 psi

Were thoughs the extremes or drag radials? I will be getting extremes for DD.

[doopie]

555 Extremes

Propellerhead uses them with no issues but he doesn't drive it as hard though.
If you are going to AX with them I would say the Ecsta AX they handle the surface pretty well at Mineral Wells and will last a long time.

I'm interested in catching up with ya'll in there events. Not sure if I can make this date, but I'll be trying too.

[Treadhead]

I may or may not make it to this one.

[aalvarez04]

I'm in of course, I have to keep closing in on Mr. Cordero's times. :) Ray did you get new race tires yet or will you be running on some street tires?

[propellerhead]

This reminds me, I need to sign up.

[ceyko]

I got a new discombobulator panhard bar, should knock off a few seconds. I'm in fo sure.

[doopie]

I found 4 AS303 slicks used for 50 with 2/32 on them so I will be doing a burn out tomorrow with my corded ones so I don't let any wasted rubber end up in the dump and then swapping the two rears to those. Then I need to find another set of wheels for the other two so I have some track spares.

I will most likely buy a set of Toyo RA1 and have them shaved for Mineral Wells use for now on after this next set is wasted.
I may still go to the S2K even on the 2nd as well to do some more tuning on the rear suspension. I still have some push I need to get rid of but not nearly as bad as it was in March and April
Chris What kind of panhard bar did you get?

Raymond

[ceyko]

I was just making stuff up....everyone else mentioned their new toys/upgrades and I felt left out. (cry) :)

Take care,

[aalvarez04]

Raymond-i guess you have to do a burnout. :p
Ceyko should do good with that discombobulator panhard. lol. I can't believe you missed that Ray.

Other than a pair of some Bfg street tires thats all I'll have new. :cool:

[GT Dan]

I'm out... That is Indy race day at Texas Motor Speedway.... why the hell did they schedule it the same day... dont these guys actually attend races? damn it....

[doopie]

So do you like to have sex or watch it. If watching is your game then give A.... my number ;)

[ceyko]

I'd question the type of sex doopie. It's Indy racing, not even dirt track racing or something.

[GT Dan]

So what you are saying, I can fuck a cheap whore or jack off while I watch two hot chicks... decisions, decisions... :D

[doopie]

Do both!

Andrew when are you signing up? It is this saturday and I do not want to hear any excuses why you could not beat me again.

Raymond

[aalvarez04]

What happened to Mr. Fried rice mustang? I just signed up Mr. Cordero. I said i'll beat you by the end of the year on street tires :p

You'll need to be more specific on the fried rice.

Propellerhead with the plastic, chrome valve stem covers?
Chili with the DFWStang sticker?
Doopie with the...well...the whole car is obvious rice.
Me....with the blue line lock switch.

Oh...you're talking about GT Dan with the rice S197. :)

Take care,

[GT Dan]

Keep talking and I'll bust your 5'2" butt. :D

aalvarez04 - Oh....I did not REALLY think he'd come. :)

[aggie97]

I am talking about aggie97.

Dealing with a potential fueling issue that I found in testing last weekend at MSR on the 1.3. Car noses over and coughs like it's out of gas even when the tank is full. tracked it down to the fuel pressure sensor and picked it up today. I have a CHL class tomorrow morning and a party Saturday night over at yucatan...

I also lowered the seat 3" and can't see over my damn hood. Gonna have to raise it up a bit before I can start carving cones...damn, guess I am going to have to go out in the garage now and fix all this shit to come out and bust ALL of your asses!!!! :p

It's nice to be wanted at a venue but scheduling may be an issue. Might see if I can get special treatment so I can leave early get back for my pussy hunt! Hate to be all smelly and shit from standing in the sun for 8 hours!

Alright, fuck it I am headed out to the garage....we will see how it goes.

[Cheezebandit]

I am going I just registered ..

should be good times ..

[propellerhead]

Who is Prettyponie03?

[aalvarez04]

aggie97 maybe you can come some other time. :cool: Or just tell us when your next race at motorsport ranch is. I'd like to see the car in action, a mustang that can turn, i want to see. hehe. just messing with you guys.

Cheezebandit-i was wondering who the silver 02 was on the entry list. good luck.

propellerhead-I'm with you on this one, who is it?

Had an issue with the CHL class so I am working on the car today. Will likely be there tomorrow but may work to leave early.

See you guys there unless I still have fuel issues.

Matt

aggie97 maybe you can come some other time. :cool: Or just tell us when your next race at motorsport ranch is.No more races for NASA at MSR this season. There's one at TWS and two at MSR Houston.

Maybe next year...

[ffrc91gt]

What time does this start and about how long does it last?

[ceyko]

Matt

Good luck, hope to see ya there.

ffrc91gt - 0900 tech, lasts until 2-4 in the afternoon depending on the amount of people who show up. Last I looked, I'd guesstimate 3ish tomorrow.

Take care,

[aggie97]

Well, I f'n pulled a muscle in my back and I am trying to get it to loosen up. still need to raise my seat a little but with the back...I think I better just get well for next week at hallet. I have to see a chiropractor after an event as it is but if I need to go BEFORE the event, I probably won't be able to walk afterward!!!

Going to play it by ear for the next few hours...my fingers are crossed. :(

[jones4stangs]

I won't be able to make it. New baby arrived early :)

[propellerhead]

[Chili]

Anyone fnd out about the pretty pony? How'd everyone do? Since I missed this month I can't miss next time.

[ceyko]

Everyone did alright, it was a very fun course. 2 3rd gear (for autos) straights, long turns....I hate to say it, but you missed one of the fastest if not the fastest course yet. Raymond did real good. I'm a little bummed that there is one guy in a stockish Mustang GT that whooped us all....but it was still fun as hell. Oh, I got beat by corvette chick too.

edit: prettypony03...whatever...is a woman on her first time out. Her kids race in another event and she wanted to try it.

Eh, it's probably better I didn't go then. Faster = harder on brakes.

[propellerhead]

There was less braking on this course than the others I've been to. There were two long hauls with a U-turn between them. The rest were long arcs so you just stayed in high RPM in 2nd and controlled your speed with the throttle.

[doopie]

That was a mini road course with a high speed ascending slalom in it.

If I could learn to brake later but harder I would not carry so much speed into the turn and end up pushing through the turn I think I can catch up to Jim and Michael by the end of the season I am going to attend the next two S2K events and then one of the Porsche Club tmie trials until I get a cage in it and can attend a HPDE.

[aalvarez04]

I had a blast, looks like another 4th place finish for me. :( My best time out there was a 112.165. I need some more gerbils under the hood for the bmw club. :p I'll try to make it to some of the s2k events and i was already looking at some of the Porsche events.

[jones4stangs]

[doopie]

Matt Do you have 2 275/40/17 scrubs that can last 8 runs and possibly a Drift Run :)
